about
[Daniel E.]
“Confirmation” is somewhat of a cry caused by an early age existential crisis. I wrote it after spending time in my parents’ village and then returning to my provincial city, and there being a horrible smell everywhere just because it had rained. It’s a song that screams out at the absurdity of life in a society where horrid urban planning has turned cities into asphyxiating masses and the countryside into a bucolic, abstract space. When faced with these preconceived images, these unhealthy and simplistic dualities, we usually block ourselves off and take refuge in specific forms of knowledge or entertainment, which is where mass media comes into play. This song tries to be a caveman song of sorts against all this; it could be argued that it’s against everything. It’s inspired by one of the great Spanish philosophers, Miguel de Unamuno, and by the Julio Cortázar novel “Hopscotch”.

lyrics
The confirmation of the absurd
Just stupidity personified
And then raised
To its maximum expression.
Reasoning like a politician
Adding misery to misery
Trying to influence
His public.
Until finally
Even infinity
Looks perceivable.
Grotesque show
Catching interest
With random
Discordant
Actions.
Hyperbolic
Unwillingness
Diverting towards
Deeper ignorance.
The art of rhetoric
Empty and vain.
Like the criticism
Of the new biases.
The originality of scholars
Residing in the repetition
Of the last quotation
As a single source of full knowledge.
The absurdity of millions
Of artificial moons
In the place where
Rain stinks of humanity.
Just stupidity personified
And then raised
To its maximum expression.
Reasoning like a politician
Adding misery to misery
Trying to influence
His public.
Until finally
Even infinity
Looks perceivable.
Grotesque show
Catching interest
With random
Discordant
Actions.
Hyperbolic
Unwillingness
Diverting towards
Deeper ignorance.
The art of rhetoric
Empty and vain.
Like the criticism
Of the new biases.
The originality of scholars
Residing in the repetition
Of the last quotation
As a single source of full knowledge.
The absurdity of millions
Of artificial moons
In the place where
Rain stinks of humanity.

If this came through your feed, you're probably like "Way to go dumbass... You didn't have this shit already??" 😂🤣 I'll have you know I am buying this album once again (for like, what? the 4th time??) to pick up the new sick "sea blue gel" vinyl variant of this modern classic. Jfc Earache Records still knows how to grab my money, even after all these years haha. Have a feeling "Hiss" will be near the top of my Albums of the Decade list when all is said and done. What an absolute masterpiece.
